It all depends where you call home that determines the different prices for so many things. Living on the east coast in Georgia, I see that gas prices are much cheaper in my area than the northeast or western parts of the U.S.. Using the Mississippi River as the divider, you can see big price differences in the east versus the west. Clearly the folks living on the eastern side of the Mississippi River have much cheaper items like cars or groceries they can purchase. There isn’t too many advantages living on the west coast, but a few do exist. A vineyard in California will offer cheaper wine to the resdients there or to the states that border the Golden State. The same might not hold true for someone wanting to buy insurance. I may be able to find a better rate in my state; than someone looking to buy auto insurance in oregon. Actually insurance may be different and this is something that everyone is closer to on a level playing field.

I think the big thing that lies in the price differences is transportation. The Mississippi River is a big transportation route for companies wanting to distribute their products. I’m not sure what the insurance rates are for the boaters, but they probably make more routes toward the Atlantic Ocean than the Pacific Ocean; once they leave the water. If you’re looking for the best prices on a dozen of eggs; then I would suggest shopping in the East. If your in the market for insurance; then the prices are probably the same for all of us. However, the West does have more higher paying jobs and the residents out there can afford these higher priced items. I guess at the end of the day it all works out even and we will always be left with paying taxes and those never-ending insurance rates.
